Summary

This study tests whether a surgical technique called nipple neurotization, performed during a two-stage breast reconstruction, can help restore feeling in the nipple after a mastectomy. Women who had a nipple-sparing mastectomy and are undergoing expander-to-implant exchange may receive this nerve reconnection procedure. Researchers will measure sensory recovery using standard tests to see if the approach improves sensation in the nipple area.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Nipple neurotization (a surgical procedure to reconnect nerves during breast reconstruction)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could help women regain sensation in the nipple after mastectomy and breast reconstruction, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study, and nerve recovery is uncertain. The procedure may not restore full sensation, and results may not apply to all patients.
